THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT has learned that as many as 200 Anglo-Catholic priests within the Church of England (CofE) are seriously considering entry into the Anglican ordinariate to be created by Pope Benedict XVI. Seventy CofE priests met with a Roman Catholic bishop last Saturday (before the synod vote on Sunday) to discuss this very thing. Now that the CofE synod has voted (on Sunday) to consecrate women bishops, without any provision made for Anglo-Catholic traditionalists, it is sure to have galvanized the 200 already considering conversion, and perhaps bring in a couple hundred more who were straddling the fence.
